null_ Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 kevpan815: The beta was limited to 75,000 people and it filled up pretty quickly within the first day or two of being made public. Please check back at later a date for possible additional availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCNaddict Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 kevpan815: The beta was limited to 75,000 people and it filled up pretty quickly within the first day or two of being made public. Please check back at later a date for possible additional availability. Therefore, the beta clearly is public. It's just that it has a limit (which was stated earlier.) Hence "Holy crap, stop talking," because it turns out that you didn't research what you were talking about before posting, Kevin. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I dunno, I'm enjoying my copy right now. I think it was fairly public. You were just to slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazhar Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well, the BETA was indeed public, but not generally available to everyone. You should have grabbed it on the first day, and it was easily available then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyxel112 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 why is MS demanding a high ram requirements even the antivirus itself is just using 3mb of ram in standby and 6 mb while scanning and the storage is 140 mb and the installer is just 4mb and if you install it takes about 10mb on hd Requirements: For Vista / W7 - Memory: 1 GB RAM or higher Storage: 140 MB of available hard-disk space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpan815 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thank You (The Burning Rom), I Got It From The Softpedia Website You Mentioned And Saved It 2 A USB Flash Drive (All 3 Versions) Just In Case Microsoft Forces Softpedia 2 Take It Down Later.

kevpan815 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 If I Can Ask Another Question, Is This Build That I Just Downloaded From Softpedia The Official Beta, Or Is Is Some Interim Build Of Some Kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleSpellbinder Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 If I Can Ask Another Question, Is This Build That I Just Downloaded From Softpedia The Official Beta, Or Is Is Some Interim Build Of Some Kind? It says Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0.1407.00 Public Beta. Softpedia seems a respectable site. No reason not to believe them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

way2quik Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yesterday Microsoft sent a "welcome beta" mail... Got that too. I didn't think I would be one of those 75,000 users to be testing this beta.

Subject Delta Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 why is MS demanding a high ram requirements even the antivirus itself is just using 3mb of ram in standby and 6 mb while scanningand the storage is 140 mb and the installer is just 4mb and if you install it takes about 10mb on hd Requirements: For Vista / W7 - Memory: 1 GB RAM or higher Storage: 140 MB of available hard-disk space the hard disk space is probably for the virus valt, where things that are quarantined are kept. As for the memory requirements, the program itself doesn't need a gig of ram, that is how much they recommend to ensure stable and uninterrupted operation with your OS It says Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0.1407.00 Public Beta. Softpedia seems a respectable site. No reason not to believe them, right? Unless they have express permission from Microsoft, which I doubt, it is illegal for them to be distributing MSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
